Apparently it is important to have an adequate board.bin or otp.bin to
even boot qca6164. I suspect it's only board.bin but it'd be nice to
know for sure what triggers the device crash.

Can you verify this by using firmware-X.bin from sumdog and board.bin
from vvanpo, and then the opposite, i.e. firmware-X.bin from vvanpo
and board.bin from sumdog and report which one of the two worked,
please?
